How do you think those hard lines will hold up to vibration? Do you intend to place a bracket in the middle for support?

I think it will need support and I'm also going to wire lock the fittings

So this is my new brain tease lol I've got to feed two opposing turbos under the car so no or very little moving air, so I've thought about building a plenum and feeding it with 4 x 3" hoses from the side and rear windows. I'm planning on internally baffling it to feed each one this is the idea so far







Any comments would good am I wasting my time ?

Send these off the Germany tmw :)
